Weekly Catch-up:
Ray almost had another week of no shooting while spending time visiting friends and family in southern New Jersey but he finally got out to photograph shorebirds. He visited one of his favorite locations along the coast for shorebird photography which he had not been at for 4 years! Emilie joined him for the outing as well as two good friends from New Jersey and they all had such a fun time. To get to the spot they used a kayak for Emilie and Patti and Ray and Jeff swam behind the kayak for a bit and walked through the water the rest of the way. It was such an adventure! Ray also finally got a chance to test his new setup which will allow him to live stream a shoot in the field! Stay tuned in the future for more about when the first live shoot will be scheduled so you can join.
Brad has been trying to play catch up with culling past sessions shot this year. He also spent some time exploring a new shorebird location which turned out to be great. Even though he has been fighting challenging tides the Semipalmated Plovers cooperated and the light lined up well for him to get some amazing shots. He also made sure to capture a nice variety of lighting conditions in a single outing!
